The District of Columbia Statement of Authority For Foreign General Partnership is a legal document that serves as an official notice to the public and other government entities of the formation of a foreign business partnership in the District of Columbia. This specific document is required for all foreign general partnerships that are registered in the District of Columbia. It must be filed with the DORA (Department of Consumer and Regulatory Affairs) and attested to by a DC-licensed attorney. The document contains the name of the partnership, the names and addresses of the partners, the date of formation, the general nature of the business, and a statement of the partners' authority to conduct business in the District of Columbia. It must also include a statement of the partnership's intent to be subject to the jurisdiction of the courts of the District of Columbia. There are two types of District of Columbia Statement of Authority for Foreign General Partnership: the original and the amended version. The original version is filed when the partnership is first formed, while the amended version must be filed whenever a change is made to the partnership's information.
